8 Finally Out

Haon got up from the capsule as soon as he tried to walk, his knees gave out and Haon fell on a floor with a thud... "I see you went wild in [Avalon] you should know that what ever you do in [Avalon] will take a toll on your physical body... it's one of their selling point" Wolf said as he helped Haon up.

"So you mean to say I have to be physically prepared if I want to like go monster hunting or dungeoneering?"Haon questioned.

"Yes... it is also the reason why not everybody is using [Avalon] as a means to make money... not everyone has the capabilities to make money in [Avalon]... if you imagine a cleaner can make 10 [I.R.L Avon coins] an hour and works for 8 hours that is 80 [I.R.L Avon coins] a day, but unprepared [User] tries to make money off monster, but gets killed each time, that [User] has just fatigued himself, while experiencing life and death situation, to not be able to make any [Avon coins], but he can't even work, because of how fatigued the [User] is and if he successfully makes money in [Avalon] the conversion of [Avon coins] to [I.R.L Avon coins] fluctuates... you get what I mean?" Replied Wolf.

"I get what you mean" Said Haon with a sullen look.

Haon was hit with a cruel reality, if he really wanted to make money in [Avalon] he has to not only get himself in shape, be mentally prepared in life and death situation, even though [Avalon] is a game, it was a hyper realistic game that is pretty much advertised as it was, a second life.

Wolf saw Haon's sad look and said "Lets get you out of this lab for now and get something to eat it"

Haon nodded, they exited the building and Haon saw that the building was in the middle of nowhere, everywhere around the building was just thick trees, it felt natural, as he was lost in daze Wolf entered a car, with the door closing it snapped Haon out of his thoughts he turned towards the car and what he saw shocked him, it really was the future, infront of his was a legit hover car, slowly approached it and the door flew up automatically and Haon entered... Wolf glanced at the back mirror and saw Haon's amazed look and said with a smile "Save your some of your amazement for later there are more to come" as soon as he finished that the car whirred into life and started moving.

Haon was pretty much glued to the window, even though he was just seeing trees, everything amazed him, but as they got closer to society Haon could see massive tall buildings from afar, and as they entered the metropolitan, Haon could see hover cars everywhere, the traffic system was still similar to the old era, except the presence of gas and smoke was gone, he couldn't believe this used to be Beijing, but he knew it wasn't... he couldn't recognised anything, Haon's sadness kicked right back in and he sat back down properly, Wolf again saw his look and said "You wouldn't recognise anything any more I'm afraid... during the 30 years war many places were flattened, even though Beijing was out capital it was flattened through war, the same goes for the western side, if you saw any famous buildings or landmarks they are mostly probably gone for example, the statue of liberty, is gone, many people from the west has forgotten it even existed... during those times nobody could have cared what happened to the wonders of the world... and I'm afraid to say you are probably the only person alive today that vividly remember what Beijing looks like, though it is now called District 1 of Eastern Mainland"

When Haon heard the explanation, he was honestly disheartened, he can't believe everything he knew was gone, but then again it's not like he had many attachments from the old era, he was an orphan, who didn't know his parents and relatives, he had no friends in school due to him distancing himself to other people due to his disease, he slowly began to realise this is basically a new chance for him, Haon's face started to be filled with life again, at the front Wolf saw it and gave a little smile...

A few minutes later they stopped and got out of the car, Haon was welcomed by many people lined to the side he looked up to see a massive building, he was confused of what this building was, Wolf stood right next to him and the people, in unison, said "Welcome to the Thousand Palace Mr.Wolf and guest we hope you enjoy your meal"

This shocked Haon, this was a restaurant?!
